Harriman Gets First Sizeable
Bloc of Delegates in Wyoming
Washington U.R) New York
Gov. Averell Harriman has
picked up his first sizeable bloc
of delegates outside his own
state in his campaign for the
Democratic presidential nomi
nation. The Wyoming state Demo
cratic convention, which Harri
man addressed Monday, elected
a slate of 28 delegates of which
12 are Harriman supporters,
though not officialy pledged.
Harriman's campaign in Wyo
ming and other northwestern
states and today's presidential
preference votes in Nebraska
highlighted political develop
ments on the national scene.
In the Nebraska primary Sen.
Estes Kefauver (D.-Tenn.) is un
opposed on the Democratic tick
et and President Eisenhower is
unopposed on the Republican
ticket. Write-in votes are per
mitted, however.
Little Significance
The contest in staunchly Re
publican Nebraska will have lit
tie significance unless normally
GOP voters in rural areas cross
over to the Democrats to protest
the Eisenhower administration
farm policies. Voters in farm
areas and towns of less than
7,000 are not required to regis
ter by party and may ask for
either ballot.

The paper said both checked
out of the hotel last Thursday
and are now believed in the Bell
ingham or ocean coast areas.
In Washington, the Soviet Em
bassy confirmed that Federov
and Sakulkin are traveling in
Washington.
"They are traveling on busi
ness of the office of the Soviet
military attache," an official
said. He declined further com
ment. Not Restricted Area
The Puget Sound area is not
Included among those sections of
the United States declared re
stricted to Soviet representa
tives. The newspaper said both at
taches have asked questions in
the neighborhood of important
Puget Sound industrial installa
tions and that it had been in
formed the two are about to visit
points along the Columbia river
but not including the atomic
plant at Hanford which is under
high security restrictions.

West Skeptical
On Russian Plan
To Cut Manpower
London (U.R) Western
powers today greeted with mix
ed welcome and skepticism the
Soviet announcement that Rus-1
sian armies will be trimmed by
1,200,000 men within a year.
The British Foreign office and
other European foreign minis
ters withheld official comment
while they consulted on how to
evaluate the Moscow announce
ment. No Way To Check
Unofficial sources pointed out,
however, that:
1. There is no way to check on
Russian demobilization.
. 2. The announcement might
be only propaganda coinciding
with French Premier Guy Mol
lett's visit to Moscow -and the
Italian election campaign.
3. Russia is only now making
arms cuts that correspond in
size to earlier reductions by the
Western powers.
4. A conventional arms cut
has only relative value as long
as nuclear weapons are not con
trolled. 5. Russia would still have
some 3,000,000 men in service,
compared to America's 2,900,000
and Britain's 800,000.
Pressure Step-Up Seen
British political sources said
one immediate result of the
Kremlin move is expected to be
a step-up of Labor party pres
sure on Prime Minister Anthony
Eden's government to reduce the
length of service for British
draftees.
The two-year service period
Is' longer than any other allied
country.
Sources close to West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
said he considered it "just an
other bouquet of propaganda
moves to woo the West."

Delegates being named in to
day's Nebraska voting are not
bound by the outcome of the
presidential preference ballot
ing. Nebraska will have 18 votes
at the GOP convention and 12
at the Democratic convention.
In the 1952 and 1954 Nebras
ka primaries, about two-thirds
of the vote was cast on the Re
publican side. Sixty-nine per
cent of the Nebraska vote went
to Mr. Eisenhower in the 1952
election.
The delegation which will cast
Wyoming's 14 votes at the Dem
ocratic convention technically
is uninstructed. But 12 of the
28 delegates named Monday
have indicated a preference for
Harriman. No more taan five
were considered backers of Ke
fauver.

Fighter Interceptor Squadron at
nearby Ladd Air Force Base.
It contained between 250 and
275 gallons of jet fuel and ex
ploded and burst into flames

nearby drive-in cafe.

Eden's Stand Turns
Disappearance of
Frogman To Mystery
London (U.R) Sir Anthony
Eden's absolute refusal, to ex
plain the case of Lt. Cmdr.
Lionel Crabb turned the disap
pearance of the frogman today
into one of the great unsolved
mysteries of the cold war.
Both the opposition Labor
Party and the British press re
lieved the pressure on the Con
servative government to air the
case in the fape of the prime
minister's pronouncement that
"I have not one word more to
say."
There still were demands that
side issues be cleaned up, such
as punishment for the men re
sponsible for Crabb's last swim
near Soviet ships in Portsmouth
Harbor.
Dark Government Secret
But government critics ap
peared convinced that the case
itself would remain a dark, em
barrassing government secret, at
least until time can dull the
effect of making it public.
Political circles said Socialist
leader Hugh Gaitskell has given
up his plan to turn the case into
a political cause celebre in the
face of overwhelming Parlia
mentary support of Eden Mon
day. The House of Commons voted
316 to 229 for Eden's position
of silence. The vote increased
Eden's normal majority of 60
to 87 votes.
A few back bench questions
on the mystery were expected
today and Wednesday, but there
was no certainty they would be
answered.
Both the Daily Sketch and the
Daily Telegraph admitted today
that Eden had the right and the
duty not to disclose any secrets
that might harm the national
interest. Eden said disclosure of
the frogman case would do this.
Papers Cite Responsibility
Each of the newspapers said,
however, that responsibility for
the handling of the matter
should be fixed.
The Telegraph added that it
was hard to believe "that we
have heard the last of the frog
man case. There is stil a death
to be accounted for and body
to be recovered . . ."
As far as the public knows,
a frogman believed to be Crabb
was seen by Soviet sailors swim
ming in a skindiver's suit near
three visiting Russian ships in
Portsmouth Harbor. He went
underwater and they did not
see him again. The British gov
ernment has "presumed" him
dead but there has been no an
nounced search for his body.

Light Bombers
Now Capable of
Carrying H-Bomb
Washington U.R Gen. Na
than F. Twining, Air Force chief
of staff, disclosed today that H
bombs have been so reduced in
size that they can be carried by
light bombers.
Twining told the United Press
that the new B66 light bomber,
for instance, is capable of carry
ing the H-bomb.
Official Indication
Twining' statement was one of
the first official indications that
the H-bomb can be carried by
planes other than huge heavy
bombers such as the B36 and the
B52. -
A reporter commented to
Twining that if the B66 can
carry the H-bomb, "you must be
getting the bomb pretty small."
"They are not too big," Twin
ing answered with a smile.
On Carrier Planes
Twining supported the asser
tion by Adm. Arleigh A. Burke,
Naval chief of operations, that
carrier-based planes are capable
of carrying the H-bomb. Burke
made the statement last week in
an interview with the United
Press.
Burke indicated that the A3D
attack plane, which has not yet
gone into operational use, is the
Navy's H-bomber. The B66 is the
Air Force's version of the Navy
developed A3D.
